The theaters will offer reduced-price tickets, and there will be theater performances on the streets of downtown Madrid.

The event starts at 17: 00h in the Casa de Correos at Puerta del Sol with the initial proclamation, and then it will be distributed throughout different spaces and streets of Madrid’s city center.

However, with so many events in venues so close to each other, you can move from one plot to another in a few minutes walking.

One of the most important shows of The Night of the Theaters is the XIX Night of Max Estrella (site in Spanish), who will represent different scenes from the play of Valle Inclan, especially of “La Lámpara Maravillosa”.
